wiped out
WYSŁANE: 15-11-2009

The other week I downloaded an \"important vista update\" to my computer.  I installed it, and once again, the update managed to kill my computer.  After trying for hours in vain to fix it myself, I resorted to calling microsoft for help.  This is something I would not recommend doing.   After two hours of them asking me to do everything I had already done (and I told them repleatedly I\'d already tried these things), I gave up.  I told them I was just going to wipe the drive and re-intall Vista.  They urged me not to.  I was now into day three with no email access (which makes me very cranky).  So I told them again I planned to re-install.  Their response?  When can we call you tomorrow to work on this? My response?  Please don\'t call back, I\'m  just going to reinstall, I\'m tired of them.  So I hung up and re-installed.   Of course, I lost everything that wasn\'t backed up (like Sims 3).  But I was tired of dealing with the whole thing, and did I mention that I hate Vista?  Anyway, now I\'m not too thrilled with Microsoft, period.  They called me every single day and left messages about working on the problem.  You know, the problem I said not to call back about?  Finally, I picked up one morning (I work night shift, which just made it all worse) and asked why they kept calling?  Oh, to work on your computer problem. The one I had fixed....days ago.   They kept saying I said to call back, which I expressly did not.  UGH!  Then they sent me a survey.  Come on already!  Anyway, the whole point of this was that I had to re-install Sims 3 and start over, but that\'s okay in the end, since I know better what I\'m doing now.

Oh yeah, one last thing.  I hate Windows Vista!
